My little fellow was transverse, and breech then head down then breech then transverse.....he was a totally spinning baby! He was manually turned and I was booked for an induction the evening after.......he turned back! He was then manually turned again and although he stayed the right way up (head down) unfortunately his cord got under his head so I had to have c/s. I believe as does my ob that I would have had a good VB if it hadn't been for the cord problem which is quite rare when bubba's get turned!
Keep in mind my story is a little different to most. My first baby was born still at 41 weeks with no explaination. The plan (on my insistance) was an induction at 38-39 weeks.
The manual turning was not too painful and they monitored everything very closely. I also tried Moxibustion and accupuncture. These both made him mobile but not engaged.
I think his plan was to always come "out the skylight" !
You can only do your best in these situations. A good outcome is knowing you are aware you've done everything you can to avoid c/s and you have a lovely little bundle to hold forever in your arms. I recovered really well from my c/s. I was up and walking asap and able to do most stuff easily within a week or so. Lifting a toddler would have been a hassle but if you do get on and move it's all good.
Good luck with the spinning!
